    I need to no if its possible to run a proxy in a script, so that every user that goes on the site is using a proxy :), its kinda of hard to explain, but my script will grab a download link, and i need to no if its possible to hide that download ink behind a proxy, you can ask me why, its quite important,

    if anyone knows of how to do it please post :)

    Yes- it's possible to have your script use a web-proxy. Just have it go to a proxy/URLYOUWANT, for example, if you were using
    use

    file_get_contents is quite inefficient for grabbing files off of other servers - curl would be a much better option.

    the script is already using curl :), to do the job, just need it to use a proxy, I could discuss this more further via PM
